WEDNESDAY JULY 20 1899
A GUESBING CONTEST
Wo defy anybody who listened to
the disbarment proceedings in the
Supreme Court to tell us what the
result of tbs case was
Three wise judges listened for two
days to exhaustive evidence and
eloquent speeches and then they put
their heads together and agreed to
disagree
Mr Kaulia was represented by
Mr Correa who made a very able
address on behalf of his client show
ing that there certainly had been no
malicious intent on behalf of Mr
Kaulia to extort money from Chas
ter Doyle a job which under all oir
oumstances would be too hard for
his client to undertakn Mr Kaulu
kou who represented Mr Kaneakua
addressed the learned judges in his
usual courteous manner and wIiobb
speooh was interpreted by Mr J E
Bush made a dry impression on the
Court as well as on the audience
Attorney Gonoral Cooper spoke
briefly on behalf of the government
He regretted that it had been his
duty to bring the matter before the
groat judgos but something had to
be done to protect the honor of the
Bar and the interests of ignorant
litigants
The wise judges took tho case
under consideration for five minutes
and each of them delivornd a lucid
address
Justice Frear said

his learned colleague and said

There was a puzzled expression on
tho faaos of the respondents tho
attorneys and the audience and it
was a relief when Mr Kaulukou
arose and said Your honors gen
tlemen I ask you with my owu
mouth who gets the wood
And that is another puzzle
Tho Widow Pensioned

King of the California Feed Co
has pensioned the widow of tho
young Hawaiian recently killed

BRING THE SUITS
Tho oflloirtl organ of tho planters
and their government has started a
now deal and demands that Messrs
Haokfold Co or tho Government
make a thorough investigation of
tho charges brought by slave labor
against the treatmont to which
they havo to submit on various
plantations
Wo think the idea is tho very
brightest which over emanated from
tho fossilized brain of the plantors
cliquo who are now badly soared
Bring libel suits against tho papers J
nud the men who havo denounced
the existing conditions on tho plan
tations Qivo the Qalicians in Oahu
Jail a chance to prove their asser
tions of ill treatment and brutality
against which they revolted when the
plantation lunas went too far oven
for the tolerance of ignorant sub
jects of tho Emperor of Austria
Let the official sheet which has been
the organ of tho slave drivers koep
on urging the desperate polioy which
will never bo adopted by its patrons
and lot sufficient coin bo gathered
to bribo our Courts and pay Hatch
to koop quiet
Tho Qalicians wearing the striped
suits in preference to earning a de
cent living are fools from the point
of view which the Popcorn cliquo
takes Thoj work for a Government
without pay and under prison dis
cipline A Government which they
hate and the laws of which they
defy and despise By all moans let
them be heard by a jury composed
of independent and intelligent men
and lot them tell to the world their
grievances
The injustice in our labor laws is
specially noticeable iu the fact that
the employee violating a contract
goes to jail if his master demands
it and that the employer violating
the contract goes free and simply
loses his laborer That tho present
systom will bo stopped shortly is a
fact that cannot be doubted but we
believe it would bj of universal
benefit if the Advertisers suggestion
was adopted and Haokfeld Co or
tho Government indued to bring
the labor question befure our Courts
through criminal libel suits against
those who sympatbizo with the
Galioians in Oahu prison
The Opera House
Robert Scott is a happy man He
has succeeded in making tho neces
sary arrangements to bring the
Tivoli Opera Co hore and tho sea
son tickets now offered for sale aro
going at a very rapid rate
Mr Scott deserves the support of
the whole community in his enter
prise and it is to be hoped that bis
venture will turn out a financial suc
cess as well as it surely will an art
istic triumph
All musical people an dthere are
many in Honolulu should secure
tickets for he soason Our young
people who have not beou abroad
and know Faust II Trovatore tho
Bohemian Girl and Martha by name
only should teae parents and guard
ians to buy a pass which will allow
thorn indoors of the Opera Houso
where they will meet a revelation
never to bo forgotten
Whoever has listened to the Ti
voli Company knows tho ability of
tho artists and Bob Scott never
doals in second class goods
An Alleged Kahuna
Mr Namakaokoahi of Waikiki

being a kahuna The case will be

District Court and tho Magistrate
